Details:

What colors should I put on the walls? My dining room is spanish red, my foyer is chocolate brown and my great room is currently a caramel color that we need to change. Do we need to do the kitchen and great room the same? They are open to each other.
Also, my kitchen cabinets are an orangey oak, dark granite with specks of black,gray,white and a specks of blue. My floors are a creamy tile. Thanks for the help.

"I suggest a warm cream."

Since you already have the spanish red and chocolate (and I love that combination) I think a warm cream in the kitchen (and great room if you want to get rid of the carmel) would give you the flow you’re looking for. It contrasts nicely with the intense red and brown, harmonizes with you kitchen cabinetry and other wood tones and if you use turquoise as an accent color throughout will give you the continuity I think you’re looking for between all the rooms.

"What color to paint my pickled/white-wash kitchen cabinets with white appliances, lite tan walls & cherry-wood floor?" (1 answer)

Cherry colored laminate flooring was just installed and my kitchen cabinets look awful and need a face-lift. They are wood cabinets (no hardware) in the popular pickled wood/white wash look from 18 years ago. Have white appliances and a tan/khaki colored wall, does anyone have a suggestion? A little scared of bright white and wasn't sure how untrendy that was. Need to sell the house in the next couple of years so don't want to get too crazy either. Simple and cheap is my goal, but don't want it to look tacky. I want it all!!

In keeping with your color scheme, I would suggest a shade of yellow. Either a deep or pale depending on your taste.
